The journal of the Bassano magic

I met Spike few years ago when we were in Colombia and Bir, saw him training for hike and fly competitions ( he won the 9th place in RedBull XAlps 2021) and also saw him coaching flying groups and last year I decided to try come to one of his flying seminars.

My flying friend Andrei Turnu and I decided few weeks ago that we should start flying in the Alps so the playground for this spring was Bassano.

The spring flying season started here in Bassano 2 months ago and March was totally awesome, from what I heard and from the flights I saw on xcontest.

The first week of April was forcasted with shitty weather, low cloudbase, fully coverage and rain in some days, exactly the week we had planned to come, of course. The conditions this week were far from being the best or even usual here in Bassano area, from what I ve heard.

But, guess what, the magic of Bassano allowed us 5 days of flying out of 7 in the seminar, some were better, some were less, but totally I managed to fly some spring hours and learnt a bunch of new stuff from Spike. So, thank you Spike for this experience, I am looking forward to a new one!

Sunday was our first day of the seminar but we started with 5 or 6 hours of rain in Bassano. We were kind of depressed, but some walking and hiking really helped achiving the goal steps for the day and the spirits up.

The place we had the headquarters was La casa di Spike, in Rivai village, Arsie area, on the back valley from Bassano- Monte Grappa ridge, 40 minutes drive from the landing areas in Bassano. It is a very beautiful area for staying and for flying, very close from Monte Avena flying zone.

The second day looked not so good for flying, the cloudbase was pretty low on the mountains and we decided to give it a try in Bassano, but the rain came on the ridge so we escaped on the flatlands for an 1h flight.

Then, Spike s girlfriend, Leo, told us that in Arsie area the sky looks much better so we went back for a 2h flight on Monte Avena, with some clouds but really good climbs and ridge soaring, having in the background the Dolomitis. This take off is from the mountain called Monte Celado.

We were a gang of 8 flying pilots, plus Spike, most of them Polish pilots, one Canadian and two Romanians. And we managed a very nice flight with landing 300m far away from home.

It was so freezing in the air that I hardly could feel my hands, so this first photo is @courtesy of Wadim who took off his glove to take this shot.

Second day of flying was on Tuesday when we took off from Bassano, a good training in a very crowded place with lots of beginner pilots. The task was to fly around, get to know the area and try to stay more in the air.

This is a new flight in magic Bassano where we flew with a low cloudbase on the mountains and then pushing after Brenta Valley where the sun was shining over the hills. My flight had few low saves that I am quite proud, not that it is an efficient way of flying, but still my patience got to new limits, which I find a good skill in cross country flying.

On Wednesday the weather got much worse, so Spike invited us for a hike&fly adventure at 7 a.m. to Monte Celado takeoff. Although the cloudbase was lower than the launching place, we managed to make a good few minutes warm-up flight after 1h30 hiking.

The peak of the day was visiting Monte Grappa over the clouds with the whole team while heading to Bassano.

After that, a local 35min flight for me in Bassano.

The 4th day of flying was on Thursday when Spike showed us a new take off in Caltrano, 20 something km to the west from Bassano, where we took off from above the clouds, that is why on my tracklog you will find that I gained no altitude during this flight. But still, with my new developed skill of patience, I managed to scratch the hill, find thermals and continue to the east for 50km, passing by Bassano takeoff. This is my longest flight in this seminar, but not the most hard-worked one, as I would find out the next day.

The last flying day in the seminar was on Friday, when the forecast was for shitty weather, with fully covered sky and low cloud base. But that s why I called this Bassano Magic, because even if there was no place to go flying when searching on the meteo maps, this place offered us a new flying day and improved spring conditions. Proper spring conditions, with turbulences and the whole package. But it was such a good training day. We all managed to stay in the air, escaping from all the beginners from near the takeoff area and making a nice flight. Hard worked for me, but very satisfying.

The landing places in Bassano area are many and generous, so I guess that is one of the reasons for coming here so many beginner pilots and schools of paragliding from abroad.

So even the canceled day on Saturday because of the feohn coming was flyable in the morning in Bassano. At the edge of CBs, but still flyable.

So this is my flying trip in Bassano, a guided seminar with Michal Gierlach and lots of new stuff learnt. So thanks again, Spike for awsome first adventure in the [lower] Alps.

Another Red Bull XAlps training day, this one started early with a glide over Lake Garda then found some surprising instability, top landed for a quick bite then took it into orbit!

[turbotoddi]

Amazing video from X-Alps. The concept is simple. Athletes must race from Salzburg to Monaco, by foot or paraglider, a straight-line distance of approximately 1,000km.
